Application filed September a. 1918.

To (old whom it may ('oncm'a:

lie it known that I, Ina G. Yos'r, a citizen oi the United States, residing at Heading, in the county of Berks and State oi? Pennsylvania, have invented. certain new and useful improvements in Heating Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to 3e a hill, clear, and exact description oi the invention, such as Willcnable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improvements in heating attachments for stoves preterably of the cooking type, and has for one of its objects the provision of means whereby air may be heated by the top oi: the stove for the purpose of heating rooms or points foreign to the stove. v

Another object of this invention is the provision oi means whereby the smoke or by products of: combustion. can. be utilized to heat the air.

it further object of this invention is the provision of means whereby the device can be readily and conveniently applied to stoves of the cooking type and which are of a well without making any material.change'in the construction thereof, and also wherebythe device can be readily removed when desired.

it still further object oit this invention is the pro sion of a heating device of the r s. ;ed character, which shall be simple, durable and efficient, and which may be manufactured and sold at a comparz tivelylow cost.

With these and. other objects in view as will become more apparent as the description proceeds, the invention consists in certain novel features oi. construction, combination; and arranger l parts as will he hereinatter rnore iiuliy described and claimed.

"For a complete understandin of my invention, inference is to be had to the following description and accompanying; drawings, in whic" I *igure 1 is a vertical sectional viewoi a heating attachment constructed in accordance with my invention.

Fig. 1: is a sectional view taken on the lined-A; of Fig. 1, and

Fig. is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of a stove illustrating the lower section applied thereto.

Referring in detail to the drawings the numeral 1 indicates an entirety an inclosed air heating device consisting of an upper section. 2, an intermediate section 3, and a lower section i. The lower section 4: consists of a substantially rectangular casing adapted to rest upon the top oi a stove, The top plate oi? thestove 5 having the usual. openings closed by ordinary lids is removed and the rec tangular casing i is positioned therein-so that the same comes in contact with the fire located within the fire boat 6 and also directly over the heat passage 7 oi. the stove 5. The lowersection d is of hollow formation, and is provided with a plurality of cylindrical 1nenibers8 that connect openings formed within the top and bottom walls of the lower section to form the usual kettle and fuel feeding openings of the stove and which are adapted to be closed by the ordinary removable lids. The cylindrical. members 8 are adapted to prevent theproducts of combustion. and the heat directly ttrom the fire and the heat passage 7 from entering the interior of the lower section 4. Theintermediate section 3 consists oi a casing disposed vortically and having its upper end flared illustrated at 9. The intermediate section 53 has located therein a plurality of partition walls 10 and 11. The partition walls 10 are recruited upon a horizontally disposed partition wall 12 positioned. above the bottom wall 13 of: the intermediate section, and also cotipcrates with the wall oi? the intermediate section in forming air passages let. The top wall of thelovver section l at its rear corners is provided. with openings 1.5 that register with openings formed in the bottom wall 13 of the intermediate section 3 and in. communication with the air passages 1% so that air within the lower section may enter the air passages of the intro-mediate section. The front wall oi. the lower section 4' is provided. with openings impermitting; air to enter the lower section, and which openings can be opened and clo ed by sliding doors, 16, for controlling the amount of air entering the lower section, and also the intermediate section.

I connected A fine 17 extends through thepartition wall 12 and the bottom wall of the intermediate section and is connected to the smokepipe 18 of the stove so that the smoke or by- I passing through the air passages 14. T e partitions 11 are connected at their lower ends by a partition 20 which is positioned directly over the fine 17 .or acting as a deflector for causing the smoke or bi-products' of combustion to the smoke passages 19.

e u er section2 consists of a casin B positioned upon the I intermediate section. 1 3 and has formed therein a horizontal partition 21 carrying smoke fines 22 that connect with the smoke flues 19 of the intermediate section 3 for permitting the smoke or byproducts of combustion to enter the smoke box 23 formedby the partition 21 and the top wall of the upper section 2.

The partition 21 also'cooperates with the intermediate section 3 in forming a heat receiving chamber 25 which is provided with oppositely disposed heat outlets to wh' pipes 26 for conveying icn are connected the heated an to different rooms or to the stove.

points foreign from It is to be noted that the partitions 11 also form an intermediate chamber 27 adapted c to receive the air from the air passage 14' by way of the heat chamber 2: t us increasing the space for the reception to be heated and also bringing it in closer contact with the smoke passages 19. be lower end or" the chamber 27 has connected thereto a pipe 28 which is in turn to the oven 29 of the stove 5 so that heat within the oven may pass into the chamber 27 and the heat receiving chamber 25. A suitable damper. 30 is positioned in the pipe 28 for opening and closing the same, thus providing means wherein the are provided the stove 5 when desired,

heat can be'retained within the oven 29 of or when utilizing the oven for cooking. The top wall of the upper section 2 is provided with hinged doors 31 located directl over the flues 22 so that the smoke passages and the fines 22 can be cleaned when desired.

vertically disposed smoke secured to the rear wall of'the upper and intermediate sections and 3 and has its lower end closed as illustrated at 33 while pipe 32 is 1138; upper end is adapted to be connected to the;flueof the chimney. The smoke P n 2 1s of such structure that the rear wall 3 are provided with openings 34: and 35 wh' h communicate with the upper and lower ends of the smoke pipe 32' and with dampers 36 and 37 respectively. \Vhen not desiring to mss tie smoke or by-products of combustion through the intermediate and upper sections, the damper 36 is opened and the damper 37 is closed permitting the smok or lay-products of combustion to pass out; wardly through the smoke pipe 32 giving a direct draft to the lire in the fire ot' the store 5. By closing the damper 36, the by-products oi? combustion are COIN- pelled to pass through the smoke pamages 19 into the smoke receiving chamber 23 thus heating the air within the air passages 14.

lVhilc I have shown and preferred embodiment of my invention, it will be understood that minor changes in construction, combination, and arrangement of parts may be made without departing from the spirit and. scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is 1. A heating attachment comprisin av lower casing adapted to rest on and c ose the top of a stove and be heated v means for supplying the stove with fuel through the lower casin an intermediate casing associated with the lower casing and having heat communication with the interior of the lower casing, means admitting air to the lower casing, smoke passages formed in the intermediate casing, an upper casing supported by the intermediate casing, a heat chamber in said upper casing and in communication with the box 6 lower casing, and intermediate casings partially supported by the lower casing and resting on the stove, and having heat passages in communication with the interior of the lower casing, means admitting air to the lower casing, smoke passages formed in the intermediate casing between the air passages thereof and adapted to be connected to the smoke flue of a stove, an upper casing supported by the intermediate casing, a heat chamber per casing and in communication with the heat passages, a smoke chamber in the upper casing and arranged over the heat chamber, and fines connecting the smoke passages to the smoke chamber and extend ing through the heat chamber.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
